Hill End and around

Hill End is a small historic site of a small gold mining town where some of the original workers' cottages and buildings have been preserved in their natural state.  We stayed at the Village Campground which was very pleasant with hot showers and a washing machine - every camper's dream come true.


The beautiful tree-lined drive into the town.








The 1948 painting by Russell Drysdale of his friend Donald Friend which hangs in the NSW Art Gallery.







The church in the painting.













The lush green countryside we are seeing on this part of the trip.



After Hill End we visited another small historic village, Sofala, where we had the immense good fortunate to find the Rustic Cafe where we had the best sausage roll on this trip.  Andrew still prefers the sausage rolls at the Overlander Roadhouse in WA but my vote goes to the Rustic Cafe.  We are doing a David Stretton and Margaret Pomeranz here :-)
